I just have a question... How is it going to be?[Verse 4]Watching ghosts on a burning bridge til it's Sunday church for this Friday kid and I'm sleepingYou're not sleeping[PreChorus 2]There were no photographs, just embers in the ring…Lingered eyes, forgotten time, and somewhere you were singing on the train back home[Chorus 2]If we could count the days, the floodgates and the radio, remembering your face… I would throw it all awayIt's summer in Chicago, and everything is still...[Bridge]...the same way that you said your piece, i was deaf & dumb, you were out of reach, and i will remember the last time[Coda]If we could count the days, the floodgates and the radio...Yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know that I would throw it all awayIt's summer in Chicago, and everything is still the sameEverything is still the same
